Atmana in Egypt

Egypt is a land whose origin is shrouded in mystery. Before 3,000 B.C., a civilization suddenly sprang forth with a fully formed language and belief system. No one can say for certain when the Sphinx and Great Pyramid were built. Even today, how the Great Pyramid was built, or for what purpose, remains an enigma. This experiential journey is an opportunity for you to investigate these great mysteries yourself.

Egypt, a land that has the most extensive ancient sites and artifacts still available to experience anywhere in the world, offers a dramatic and powerful backdrop for this very special tour. The sense of bygone Egypt is everywhere - in the towering pyramids, in the enigmatic Sphinx, in the majestic ruins of temples and tombs, in the camel market, coffee houses, and the narrow twisting streets.

Arrive individually into Cairo International Airport where you will be met with a concierge Meet & Greet service and transferred to your five-star luxury hotel, the world-renowned Mena House Hotel, located right next to the Great Pyramid. Experience the energy field of the Great Pyramid during your entire stay! (D)

(If you wish to arrive a day or more early, please see the add-on option for pre-tour lodging.)

Explore Saqqara, the site of the Step Pyramid of Djoser, considered by many to be the first pyramid. This pyramid and the massive structure around it, designed by the architect/physician Imhotep (circa 2700 B.C.), were not only the first large stone structures in the world, but today they still constitute the largest stone temple complex on earth.

You gain entrance into the mysterious Serapeum, tombs to the sacred bulls, a rarely visited site.(B/L)

Experience the Great Pyramid, the greatest site of transformation on the planet! With special government permission, explore the Great Pyramid during private time, only your group inside.

Then experience the mysterious Sphinx during your specially arranged sunrise private visit with special government permission.

Return to your hotel for breakfast, rest up and assimilation.

Later, explore the Grand Egyptian Museum, home to the largest, most complex collection of ancient treasures and artifacts in the world.

Among the historical treasures housed in the GEM are Tutankhamen’s sarcophagus along with all of the 5,000 artifacts that were found in his tomb when it was uncovered in 1922. (B)

See Old Cairo, including the church with the crypt where Mary & Joseph stayed, and the synagogue built on the spot where it is believed Moses was found in the bulrushes.

Transfer to the airport for your flight to Aswan. Upon arrival, transfer to board your privately chartered luxury 5-star yacht sailing boat, your “home” for the next 9 nights. Welcome aboard and be prepared to be waited on hand and foot! A delicious Welcome dinner awaits. (B/L/D)

(Breakfast, lunch and dinner are included while you are on board.)

Experience the special energies at the temple of the goddess Isis, as we visit the island of Philae in our privately chartered water taxi. Isis is regarded as the goddess of medicine and healing and great magic. Philae Temple is considered by many to be the most beautiful temple of Egypt.

We have special government permission to be at the Temple of Isis before sunrise, when it is closed to the public. Enjoy the entire temple and island for just your group for 2 hours.

Later, enjoy the local souk and spices market. (B/L/D)

Begin sailing.

Experience the small but important site of Kom Ombo, a famous healing temple in ancient days. The temple is unique because it is in fact a double temple dedicated to two gods: Sobek the crocodile god, and Horus the falcon-headed god.

The layout combines two temples in one with each side having its own gateways and chapels. This ancient Egyptian place of worship features a unique engraving that is thought to be among the first representations of medical and surgical instruments.

Overnight at an island.  (B/L/D)

Today, experience the over 2500-year-old magnificent Temple at Edfu, the best preserved of all ancient Egyptian temples and dedicated to the god Horus. Return to the boat and continue sailing.

Overnight along the river. (B/L/D)

Sail down the Nile, enjoying the lush landscape that has not changed much in millennium.  (B/L/D)

Sail today. Travel through the lock at Esna.

Arrive in Luxor. The charming town of Luxor was once the ancient Egyptian capital of “Thebes.” (Incredibly, 85% of ancient Egyptian antiquities are located in Upper Egypt, centered on Thebes.)  (B/L/D)

Enjoy a special experience at Dendera, a wondrous site where you will visit the temple of Hathor and experience its special energy. Hathor is the goddess of love and joy, music and dance. One of the most well-preserved temples in all of Egypt, Dendera is a marvel to explore, with ceilings and rooms intricately carved. The restored ceilings with their gorgeous colored hieroglyphs are stunning.

Also here is the famous Zodiac ceiling, a circular, sandstone bas-relief planisphere depicting a combination star map and astrological chart. Be immersed in the potent healing energies in the small temple to Nut, the sky goddess. (B/L/D)

Today visit the Valley of the Kings, the location of the eternal resting places of the Pharaohs. Here is where King Tut's tomb and many more were discovered.

Also, see the exquisite Temple of Queen Hatshepsut, the only female Pharaoh of Egypt.

This evening, visit the “Living Temple of Man,” Luxor Temple. The temple's design is symbolic of the living human body, reflecting the fact that the body is in turn a temple of the spirit. (B/L/D)

Experience the incredible temples complex of Karnak. No one sees these temples without a sense of awe and wonder at their grandeur. Tour these magnificent ruins, the largest ancient temple complex in the world.

We have special government permission to be at the Chapel of Sekhmet at Karnak Temple when it is closed to the public.

This hidden sanctuary honors Sekhmet, Egypt’s fierce goddess of power and protection. (B/L/D)
